About this property

GREAT Location Near Blowing Rock on 1 acre pond. 4 wheel drive needed in winter

Late Fall and Winter months you will need 4 wheel drive. The weather can change quickly in the High Country. Our driveway is too long to shovel snow. You will need four-wheel-drive!

“Rocky Meadows" Cottage by the Pond, my husband and I rent out for short term rentals. "Rocky Meadows" Cottage By The Pond is located on a 1 acre pond 3.5 miles from Blowing Rock's Main Street, where shopping and restaurants abound. Minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and just off scenic Highway 221 on the way to Grandfather Mountain. Bring your tent and pitch on the shore of the pond for the kids or go hiking in the adjacent woods.

For those who want seclusion plus the convenience of being close to everything, it is the perfect spot.

Perfect location

This was such a perfect location for a mini-honeymoon near Blowing Rock. Secluded but still close to town and very near great hiking. Our dog also had a blast running around the yard and finding frogs near the pond. We just left and already trying to plan a return trip!

Weekend at Blowing Rock

The property was very cozy and the pond was wonderful. So many little details provided, like homemade soap and fresh firewood. The fishing gear was so nice to have also. My kids really enjoyed fishing and making s’mores! It was nice to be able to bring our dog and felt like a home away from home!

This place is a gem!

We love this place so much! So peaceful, close to great hikes and Blowing Rock, but far enough from town that you feel yourself relax. Love the porch, the firepit, grilling and eating at picnic tables, and the pond. Cabin was well-stocked. Thank you! We hope to be back soon.

This just became our favorite place to stay!

What everyone wants to know: Clean, clean, clean. King size bed was very comfortable. Small, but had everything we could ask for. Great location! The pond was beautiful and great to walk around, or just sit and enjoy. You felt like you were in your own oasis, yet only roughly 10 mins. drive to Blowing Rock. Wonderful hosts, very pleasant answered any and all questions. Just the best, period!! We will be back!

Fire pit and a pind

This place was great!! Everything was just as described. Cottage was clean and everything you need is there. Cottage is back off the road and the neighborhood is quiet. The pond was great and my girls enjoyed walking around it looking at the lilly pads and wildlife. The cottage is close to pretty much everything with 221 heading to Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mnt the opposite direction. The Parkway is close to use to get to Moses Cone and other venues on the Parkway. Great time and we plan to go back again!!!

A little slice of Heaven

We stayed here while visiting our daughter that attends Appalachian State. We were not certain how long the drive would be to Boone but were pleasantly surprised. The house was perfect for our needs and was well equipped and clean. It is not a big home but was exactly as described and was pet friendly. We brought our lab along and she loved the sprawling yard and pond. There were fishing rods for us to use but I did not have any luck but wasn't sure what bait would be best. The check-in process was seamless and directions were great. Overall, the house had a lot of character and the beds were great and there were plenty of linens and the owner even left some home made soaps as a gift. The bathroom was nicely updated and the heating and air worked great. We have stayed at several VRBOs in the past that were far more "upscale" but this place was a definite favorite and we had zero issues or complaints. We are looking forward to more stays in the future. If you are looking for a small mountain home with total privacy and beautiful grounds, give it a try!

Such a relaxing and beautiful property and cabin

My family and I absolutely loved staying at the cabin! The cabin was so nice and the owner provided many extras that are not ususally provided at vacation rentals. It was clean, the beds were comfy, the kitchen very well stocked and it was spacious. The private grounds blew us away with the gorgeous pond with water lilies in bloom, several firepits and outdoor furniture. There are two cushioned adirondack chairs on the porch. So comfortable. We are all ready looking at dates for our next visit. Jennifer is an outstanding and conscientious property owner! Thanks, Jennifer!

About the host

Hosted by jennifer poarch

"Rocky Meadows" has been in my family since around 1929. My fathers' great aunt Minerva Walker Goldsmith "Aunt Bea" purchased Rocky Meadows around 1929 in order to spend summers away from the heat of Palm Beach. Aunt Bea was known for her modernist watercolor landscape paintings. She developed a love for the mountains and sold property to her friends, one being Phillip Moose, and established Artist Alley. My father built this cabin with very little assistance in 2006. It took him 2 years to complete.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is close to town but provides a feeling of seclusion and privacy.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, pet friendly, beautiful mountain setting, outdoor stone grill, gas grill, bonfire pit next to pond, fishing dock, close to ski resorts and restaurants

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
